I can't say for sure, because I've never heard of Duncton. That is, until just now.

I don't believe Jacques was inspired by Duncton, though, because he said on numerous occasions that he intentionally avoided reading other works of fantasy fiction to avoid taking subconscious inspiration from them.

As for Mistmantle, it's a pretty well-known fact that it took loads of "inspiration" from other works, although one could even go as far as to remove the first three letters of the word...if you know what I mean.
